David Stratton The Australian My Name is Gulpilil is suffused with a mournful poetry, beginning with the very opening image - a long shot of the actor walking down an outback road accompanied, rather incongruously, by an emu. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 1, 2021 Full Review Paul Byrnes The Age (Australia) The effect is unbearably moving and utterly engaging. There is no film quite like this in our cinema, just as there is no one quite like the man. Rated: 4/5 Jun 1, 2021 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Time Out An intimate journey though his career and his personal life, into his dreams and fears, it's astoundingly generous. Rated: 4/5 May 27, 2021 Full Review Brian Susbielles InSession Film He goes through every key moment in his life while we watch him bravely fight cancer and cement down what the real man was like in his own words. Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz If you care about cinema in our part of the world at all, you'll get a lot from My Name is Gulpilil. Jul 8, 2022 Full Review John McDonald Australian Financial Review He can still boast that he's the greatest dancer in the world and that he understands everything there is to know about filmmaking.
